his football is boring me, just like Southgate's
Some of the passing and approach play can be free flowing it’s the lack of goals for me. If we were winning it would all feel very different. Under Megson we were tough, solid and not that pretty but we would usually get the one goal we needed and we loved it.

The Cardiff game is massive now for CC. The fans are turning in increasing numbers.

Which I find quite staggering in all honesty. The last few games have disappointed me too, but we are fourth in the league and have been on an upwards trajectory ever since he arrived...keep the faith chaps

CC was my choice before he got the job and you are correct we have to look at the bigger picture .That said I cannot argue with anybody who brings up the style of play and lack of goals at certain times . It's not been always but there have been some very dull performances and at the end of the day the paying public want entertainment .
Thin lines right now . ( P.S stop bring on Wallace for Maja ) .

They aren't.

Yes some are critical of our recent form and performances but to suggest they're turning is misleading IMO.

I'm not wavering too much yet, but I wouldn't be devastated if he did go.

We're a work in progress and we had the rub of the green first seven but nothing since.

He seems to be trying to get Heggem and Furlong drifting inside more when attacking, instead of just supporting their winger, which is helping the balance a bit.

McNair is clearly an asset at this level, which is a bonus.

We've stopped losing, but we need to start winning again.  The idea that we are going to dominate this season is long gone, it's going to be the usual slog of the last few seasons with an eye on the horrible play-offs.

Let's hope a relaxed Cardiff have enjoyed their "manager sacking honeymoon" and don't turn up against us.

That's a fans expectation that Corberan has no control over, he can hardly be blamed because a section of fans thought he was Corberan and we were going to steam roller the league and now their expectations have hit a bump.

What he has to take some of the blame for is his team selection, use of subs and somewhat inflexibility.
I still have faith that we'll come good again but I wasn't over excited when we were briefly top of the league and I'm not going to knee jerk when we are still in the play off places and it's only 1/4 into the season.

I’m still very much don’t care either way
He wants his team to build from the back yet has palmer,Bartley,semi and furlong who have the finesse of a house brick with the ball at their feet
My only main criticism is his lack of flexibility to changing formations in game
It’s always like for like

After last nights game i saw a small number of fans calling for CC to be moved on for the first time.

I'm not surprised but i'm not there yet myself either.

He's now around Ismael levels of stubborness/ignorance for me. Nothing good will come from it going forward unless he's just doing this until he can try 3-5-2 with Dike and Maja and take things from there.

I don’t think that is what he is thinking,but if it is then it’s one hell of a risk.
It would also be a massive change from the pretty cautious approach of the last 5-6 games in to all out attack….
I’m not surprised people are getting fed up of it…again I wouldn’t pull the trigger yet,but I’d have a word and I’d want know what goes through his mind with 9 subs no striker,and bringing Wallace in for 1 minute .

Where was that please? At the game itself, on TV or online. If it was online are we talking on forums or on 'X' and or Facebook?
It doesn't matter how many resources you have.
If you don't know how to use them, they will never be enough.

It is people speaking from the comfort of their keyboards! Not fans at the games for sure.

It woud be a massive risk/change but i'm literally unable to think of any other reason why he keeps making the same strange decisions.

Only a few but they exist, it was Facebook i saw it. A lot more unhappy people on twitter but thats Twitter in general but i don't recall anyone specifically asking him to be moved on.

Over achieving compared to where everyone thought we would be this season.
Sound defence, poor distribution and inability to score goals.
Hanging on to 4th place on goal difference by the skins of our teeth.
Making incomprehensible substitutions amplified by the extraordinary decision to bring on Wallace with 2 minutes left.
Seemingly stubborn, but restricted by choice, however under utilises new signings that might make an impact.
Dedicated, passionate, but his hatred of losing stifles our ability to win on some occasions.
Winning 0-0 will not get us promoted.
Cardiff win is paramount.
Kirk out.

The only reason to make subs with a minute left is to waste time if you're winning or playing for a draw, neither of which we were doing.  Very strange.

Not Fussed if he goes or stays, but it's not all on Corberans head either too many players standard has dropped significantly. Had chances to win last night and had Ajayi been a footballer we'd have another 2 points from the Oxford game.
I think his stubbornness will be his downfall, a match evolves and a manager has to react to it not stick to a rigid set of principles of how he wants his team to play, just changing personnel doesn't cut it. When he subbed Maja in the 91st minute when we had the opportunity to get a ball in the box for what was probably the last chance to win the game was nonsense.
His match day squad is unbalanced with too many wingers, one Diangana who is not a number 10, Wallace who has done nothing to merit a place. But we can't find room another Forward.

Absolute crazy.

He inherited an ageing squad with over paid players that were on premier league contracts, we were heading for league 1 with Steve Bruce.

he then turns us around, gets us in the play offs and has us 4th after 11 games. Seriously, even with how delusion  you see in football, this surprises me so much. We decreased the wage bill by 30%.

In his 2 year reign, the first year he didnt even spend a penny i dont think and over the whole reign we have a net profit of 8/9m with transfers in/out.

Frustrated, yes of course as last few games i have questioned his tactics particuarly oxford. one of the worst teams i have seen and defending a 1-0 lead for an hour. finish the game off.

But to call for this manager to move on is absolute madness.

People have their opinions and are free to express them. Bilkul will decide whether he's the man for the job or not in the end. I don't see any PL teams coming in for him myself but who knows.

What I find baffling is in the summer there were a lot of rumours at the mid point of the transfer window and his own interviews stating how unhappy he was about the lack of signings .fast forward a few weeks when we got the players in he wanted and he himself said he was very happy with transfer business we conducted!to then not play hardly any of them and stick to the players who haven’t performed for the last few years ,to me is just crazy and stupidly stubborn

You say the players haven't performed for the last few years but most of them got us into the play offs last season.

I get the frustration but I think players like Diakite and Styles were brought in as ones for the future. This season will be about bedding in with the first team (in a manner of speaking) so they are ready to play consistently next season.
The owner and Corberan have spoken about a project and future plans etc and it's a long old season.
I wonder if Holgate would have started instead of McNair had he been fit last night.

The only frustration for me is not putting Cole on the bench, certainly as the replacement for Maja while we are playing 1 up front.
If Corberan wants to play with both Maja and Dike up front why not try 2 upfront with Maja and Cole or are they too similar?
